Re: [orbit-dev] eclipse.org disk quota notice

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I always read them. But what action I take
is another matter. It depends. 

Its my understanding the purpose of
these are to help spot "out of control" growth ... such as if
we get "11 used, 10 is quota" month after month ... then we probably
need to ask webmaster to increase quota a little ... i.e. "11"
is pretty normal, especially as we approach release of SR2 at same time
we are working on Luna. 

But, if it is 11 of 10 one month, 15
of 10 the next month, 20 of 10 the next month ... then that is a sign something
is obviously "wrong" and needs to be fixed. 

But, if you meant you are volunteering
to "pay attention" to these, ... feel free :) 
Just be sure you open a bug so I know
what action you are taking :) 

I'll point out a little known secret.
If people looked closely, on file system, they'd see we have a lot of  "old
releases" of Orbit repositories on "main site", but in fact,
some of the older ones I have moved to archives, and simply left a minimum
"composite" site at main download, that points to the archive
location. (See listing at end). 

The other "trick" I try to
remember, is to do normal "clean up" before the weekend .. since
that is when the quota report's are ran. This time I forgot, 
So, I have just now removed the "M
builds" since everyone that was using one of those, should move to
the latest R build, for Kepler SR2. 
Removing those M builds should take
us below the quota, again. But, as we add some more "S builds"
we will likely go over again, before we get to Luna. 

I'm sure there is much more we could
do to minimize disk usage, but, again, I think primary purpose of these
reports is not so much to "limit what we use", but is more to
make sure "we are making responsible use" of Eclipse Foundation
resources. 

That's probably more than you wanted
to know ... but, you know me. 

Thanks for asking,

Just wondering, is anyone paying attention to this?
